Forum: RForum Email notification is broken!

I usually enable email notification for my posts, but the
email I get is not very helpful.
Here is the complete, unabridged source of the email (without
the headers):

---------
Since your last visit, a new message has been posted to topic "Error 
messages in other languages?" in forum "Ruby on Rails".

Subject: Re: Error messages in other languages?
Author: Xavier Noria

Read the message at .

You will not receive further notifications about new messages in this 
topic until you visit it again.

Switch off notification for this topic:
-------------

No link or URL is present in that email, so it is impossible to
either read the message at ... or switch off notification.

As there is also no way in the forum to find one's own posts, this is
doubly frustrating since it would help to find at least those posts
for which email notification is enabled.

One more point: I tried to find this new message by searching for
the subject line "Error messages in other languages" (with and
without the quotes) and that search returned zero matches.

Is search broken too?

Ironically, at least the topic notification for this topic did not show 
this problem, so maybe it has been solved in the meantime :)
